Library E-mail Notices

Library notices (e.g., overdue, recall, item-available notices) are sent to patrons by e-mail. These notices are sent to Cornell e-mail addresses in the form of "NetID@cornell.edu." Paper notification is available only for those faculty, staff and students without active Cornell e-mail addresses.

You will be able to receive Library notices if:

1. you read e-mail on CIT's central POP service (the "postoffice" systems), typically accessed with Eudora or WebEmaill; or
2. you have used WhoIAm to route e-mail sent your "NetID@cornell.edu" address to a departmental e-mail system or some other service.

To check the current status of your "NetID@cornell.edu" address, go to the WhoIAm website. Note that you must have SideCar running to access this site.

WhoIAm's Electronic Mail Systems Preferences Form lets you choose whether mail sent to your "NetID@cornell.edu" address goes to the Cornell "postoffice" systems, to another e-mail service, or is returned to the sender as undeliverable. The Library strongly urges all of its patrons to enable delivery of mail sent to a "NetID@cornell.edu" address.

If you need assistance with using WhoIAm to configure e-mail delivery, please contact your local technical support personnel or CIT's HelpDesk (255-8990, helpdesk@cornell.edu).
